What tournaments are your favorite? And which ones do you hate?
I hate hyper tournaments and love regular tournaments, the ones where the blinds increase every 10 minutes. For example, tournaments like our CardsChat freerolls have a great structure in my opinion. Hyper tournaments or even turbo tournaments are more like a game of bingo than poker :)

I like playing deep and I like the faster format games. When people dont understand the icm of the format they call it bingo.

I am pretty good at Deep and slower paces but also in turbos. I play mostly turbo due to time constraints but to be honest i love both. Deep the stacks the better.

I like deep structures where we can make some moves on the river. Turbos and Hypers are a complement to my grind.

large fields are the worst... 10-15 minute blinds are the best

Can't play vanilla tourneys anymore. I would say PKOs and Mistery Bounties are the most suited for my playing style and without a doubt the most valuable

I don't like hyper tournaments, and I don't like Spin & Go tournaments. I also avoid tournaments with rewards because there are a lot of bingo players there. I like to play in regular classic tournaments.

I like very deep stack poker, so I don't play MTTs for money. I only play cash if I'm not playing just for fun. And if it is just a lottery for fun, I don't mind hyper- or turbo-structures.

For me, 8-minute levels are optimal.

I prefer a normal tournament. Hyper and other offshoots, not my thing. I really prefer a tournament where it has a normal distribution, everybody has about the same early stage stack, not too many early stage bullies who luck into abnormaly large stacks, that ruin the game and tournament.

I like regular MTT tournaments, but I don't play any turbo or hyper event.

I don't like fast tournaments, I do play them but I don't like them, I think I do better in tournaments that are of normal speed, the thing is that when the blinds are very fast there is more pressure, more madness, in tournaments that are very slow I can play it and it goes very well, but the only thing is that they are very long to play and I can get exhausted before finishing the tournament
